What if there was a future where all kids have the opportunity to participate in sports regardless of socioeconomic factors? A future where collegiate athletes join with local communities to ensure team sports are accessible to all kids.

Meet our founding leadership team!

President

Emmi Simon

My name is Emmi and I am a senior at Maryland, double majoring in Supply Chain Management and Marketing. I am on the Track team and run mid-distance (1500m). I love animals and the outdoors! I enjoy hikes, long walks, yoga, journaling, and coffee dates with my friends! I love to try new things and I value the time I get to spend with my close friends so much! I am passionate about making a difference with the time I have. I care a lot about people and how my actions affect others/ my environment. I am excited to be apart of something bigger than myself, to build new relationships, and to hopefully make a lasting positive impact/ lots of new memories for people in the community.
